Maritana - St. Pete Beach

Professional and courteous service. Attentive but not smothering. Excellent food with distinctive complementary flavor combinations. Had a wonderful, romantic meal with my wife. We enjoyed a crescent booth along the wall, and would suggest requesting for other couples.

We were blessed to have both Rocco and Janet as our servers during an incredible wine pairing dinner sponsored by Stags’ Leap (position of apostrophe is key). The service was impeccable and all staff were personable and professional. The tuna crudo, chorizo potato empanadas, red snapper, squab, venison loin and chocolate mousse dessert were incredible! Appropriately small servings for the pairing along with vegetables/sauces that enhanced the entrees. I liked the Chardonnay and the Cabernet while my wife preferred the petit Syrah and viognier . The Reserve was a treat as well! Not cheap but worth the price, so a great value and unforgettable experience. We shall return!

Food was good, but there’s still room for improvement. Service is top notch. Had the Bundino for dessert, bone marrow was a little underwhelming and very pricy for a bone, not the best choice. One of the best dishes of the night was unfortunately the bread

Firstly, the menu itself was a culinary delight. The selection of appetizers, entrees, and desserts was diverse and offered something for every palat for my business dinner. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor for Mark our host for this amazing dinner. The attention to detail and quality of ingredients were evident in every bite. The three-course meal was a true gastronomic journey that left me wanting more. Of special note from me personally were the grilled octopus which was perfectly cooked for those like me who favor this dish, and for the final course a share Australian Tomahawk which was perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked to my medium rare palette. My guests could not put their fork down! The desserts and coffee were expertly presented and obviously masterfully created custom for the table. Our host Mark again was very personable and has made a lasting impression on my guests who just purchased a home within walking distance from this establishment. We will be back and thank you Mark again for your own optional service and shared experience in our pleasurable dinner. Additionally , the service at Maritana was top-notch. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and well taken care of. Mark was prompt in taking orders, and the pacing of the courses was perfectly time. The level of professionalism and warmth displayed by the entire team was truly commendable. Thank you once again! Very highest sincerity being considered, the ambiance of Maritana added to the overall experience. The restaurant exudes elegance and sophistication, with its stylish decor and intimate setting. The dim lighting and soothing music created a relaxed and intimate atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a memorable meal. In conclusion, I cannot recommend Maritana at Don Cesar enough. The three-course menu and service surpassed all expectations and left me thoroughly impressed. Whether you 're celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for an exceptional dining experience, Maritana is the place to go. Five stars all the way!

One of the best restaurants in St Petersburg. Service and food are top notch and make for a pleasant and memorable dining experience.
